Yeah, got my first 'big' bike, well bigger than a CG125 rocketshit!
It's a great bike in fact, with only 2 strokes the performance is great!
Well I won't keep you waiting anymore it's a lovely bright green Kawasaki KR250, a 1985 model, and it is the rare 'S' model with powervalves.
250cc of 2 stroke goodness, around 45-50hp and 134kg so it's quite light.
Handles SOOO nice, just drops in to corners, very nimble, and just LOVES turning in with the skinny tires 100/80-16 on the front, and a 120/80-18 on the back, 16 inch front wheel is very nimble.
Performance is great, did the akaroa run a couple of sundays ago with a whole lot of big bikes- GSX-R600's, R6's GSX-R750's SV1000's etc and kept up NO worries, in fact I was having to slow down on the corners for the heavier bikes, and with the 2 stroke, plenty of punch out of the corners.
Heres a couple of pictures of it:

33675

Tell us what you think! I reckon it's an 80's classic
